I took two classes with Ardella in 2008 at her home outside Talkeetna. It was such an enjoyable lesson. From tree harvesting bark to finding the root. I made two baskets and she sent me hone with enough birch to make 3-5 other pieces. Never made anything was made from the rolled bark. It’s sits on the top of my Hoosier cabinet still held together with the same scrap of cloth she tied it with. She was a talented woman able to see what each piece of bark was destined to make, but she was willing to help a not very artistic Michigander to craft 2 pieces that bring joy to my heart.
